The Obsession Grows

I refuse to be baited I refuse to be poked I refuse to be prodded I refuse to be forced to react I refuse to let you keep the control You’ve been trying The silence may be deafening, but yet it speaks volumes You’re behavior and actions speak for you You’re starting to rely heavilyContinue reading “The Obsession Grows”

Silence

You’ve been silent A LOT I know by now it means that you’re up to something I know not to try to figure out your next move It’s futile It’s acknowledged but that’s about it I can play defense Or go on the offensive But again, it’s futile All it is is one big chessContinue reading “Silence”

‘Reason with Him’

‘Why didn’t you leave sooner?’ ‘It mustn’t be that bad…’ Just a few of the lines I’ve been fed the past few months Explaining the effects of the narcissist, but not being able to have the ability to show the depth of his reach The psychological impact The mental health issues The long term effectsContinue reading “‘Reason with Him’”

Behind Closed Doors

The Day Will Come

Be Brave

You took away my voice You took away my mental well being You took away what should have been a new beginning You took away a safe home environment You took away more things than I dare count You instilled fear You forced me to walk on eggshells You retaliate if I fight back ButContinue reading “Be Brave”

The Fear

You’ve instilled a sense of fear It was so subtle It snuck up on me It was intentional You know what you’re doing But it is being faced head on You can keep on trying to push it But I refuse to let you control me Or the fear you instill…

The Calm Before The Storm?

For weeks, you have been eerily quiet You’ve forced your family to comply with your plan I may not know what your plan is, but I don’t care I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve stopped trying to figure out your motives All I know is you’re determined to make me feel like I’m goingContinue reading “The Calm Before The Storm?”

Trust

It can take years to earn, but only a second to crumble It can happen so suddenly, that once it’s gone, you wonder if it’s worth earning it back A whole new outlook is presented Just because you lose trust in someone important, the ripple effect that it now has on everyone around you TheContinue reading “Trust”
